Stormwater Management through Green Infrastructure: City of Sandusky, Ohio

Sandusky, Ohio is located along the Sandusky Bay in Lake Erie. In recent years the city, especially the waterfront and downtown districts, have started to see several positive changes, such as an increase in mixed use building conversions, restoration of numerous historic buildings, and the opening of many local restaurants and retail stores. Much of this redevelopment is a result of the large tourist population the city receives from visitors to the Cedar Point amusement par, and the numerous boating marinas that are located in the historic downtown

Survival of natural and planted seedlings under a shelterwood in southwest Oregon

The effects of naturally shaded microsites on survival and height growth of natural and planted seedlings were evaluated after an initial shelterwood harvest in the eastern Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon. After 2 years, the probabilities of survival for planted Douglas-fir (84 percent) and ponderosa pine (56 percent) were significantly greater than those for natural Douglas-fir (13 percent) and white fir (18 percent). Stress from heat and drought was the greatest cause of mortality for both planted and natural seedlings. Survival of natural seedlings was significantly greater on shaded then on unshaded microsites, but shading did not affect survival of planted seedlings. Survival of planted seedlings seemed to be associated with root size
